PATHWAYS

Conversations about global conflict, diplomacy and disorder, exploring Australia’s place inan unsettled international landscape through policy, lived experience and creative response.

Sessions that explore how place, history, culture and inheritance shape identity, belonging and the stories Australians tell about themselves.

Sessions that grapple with the pressures, choices and contradictions of contemporary life, from money, housing and masculinity to faith, family and sport as lived culture.

Intimate conversations about lives shaped by loss, break-up, belief and moral choice, where private experience meets wider questions of meaning, responsibility and resilience.

Sessions that examine how power operates, how truth is contested or concealed, and what accountability looks like when institutions, systems and leaders are tested.

Practical sessions and workshops for aspiring and emerging writers, focused on craft, process, publishing and the realities of turning writing into a finished work.

Conversations about how stories are told, shaped and received across contemporary, literary, historical, romance, spy thrillers and crime fiction, exploring voice, genre, memory and imagination.
